Adrien Missika

Adrien Missika works across photography, video, sculpture, installation, and performance. He explores how human-made objects and natural systems interact, often absorbing and reshaping one another. By highlighting nature’s fragility and adaptability, Missika reveals the tension between creation and destruction, while addressing broader societal and ecological concerns.

In urban environments, Missika emphasizes both the tension and care required for survival. In Cura, for instance, he invites people to cleanse the dusty leaves of city plants, encouraging them to ‘go on until tired or hungry.’ This act highlights how public spaces often neglect nature, where it frequently goes unnoticed or overshadowed. By focusing on this fragility, Missika shows how plants and people alike adapt to the pressures of city life, making acts of care vital.

Care is central to Missika’s work, whether through creating shelters for pollinators or highlighting the vulnerability of organic forms. In Pour Agnès, a heart-shaped potato is treated as a living object, meant to return to the earth before it decays. In another work, he humorously hugs a cactus, playfully exploring the awkwardness of human-nature interactions. This emphasis on life cycles becomes a metaphor for nurturing life in places dominated by human activity.

Beyond care, the work of Adrien Missika is about coexistence and transformation. He encourages active engagement with nature, shifting the focus from control to respect for its rhythms. His art advocates for a sustainable relationship that values all living things. By reframing our role as caretakers within a larger ecological system, Missika delivers a quiet but powerful reminder that coexistence with nature is essential.
